On May 19-20, 2026, Anthropic hosted its two-day Code with Claude developer event in London, coinciding with Google’s I/O in Palo Alto. During the event, Anthropic engineer Jeremy Hadfield conducted a poll revealing nearly half of attendees had shipped a fully Claude-written pull request in the past week, with most admitting they did not review the code at all.
LLM-powered coding tools like Claude Code have transformed software development. Anthropic states most of its own software, including Claude Code itself, is now written by Claude. Since last year’s release of Claude 4, updates to Claude 4.6 and 4.7 have significantly enhanced the tool’s capabilities. Anthropic aims to push automation further, with features like “dreaming”—a system where Claude Code agents record task insights to improve future work, allowing the AI to self-correct and test code without human intervention.
The event featured product showcases, workshops, and case studies from companies like Spotify, Delivery Hero, and startups Lovable, Base44, and Monday.com, all of which have integrated Claude Code into their workflows. Attendees expressed strong enthusiasm for the tool, though online, some developers have raised concerns that AI coding tools, pushed by managers for productivity, add extra review burdens and complicate development.
